You've got your angel now You've got your queen of hearts You always said you wanted this But this is hard A girl's a gift from God if you can hold her heart Don't you let her go; she'll tear you apart She'll take you down to the river and throw you in, leave you when the sun goes down Tell you that you could've been a real fine fellow if your daddy would've had the time Leave you in the morning when the fog is forming on the Mississippi River bed Well, you soon discover when you tell her that you love her that the girl you used to love is dead She'll take you down to the river and do it all over again You've got your Ingrid Bergman Oh you've got your girl You always said you wanted this But are you sure? A girl's a gift from God if you can hold her hand Don't you let her go; she won't understand She'll take you down to the river and throw you in, leave you when the sun goes down Tell you that you could've been a real fine fellow if your daddy would've had the time Leave you in the morning when the fog is forming on the Mississippi River bed Well, you soon discover when you tell her that you love her that the girl you used to love is dead She'll take you down to the river and do it all over again Oh baby, I'm sorry I never meant to treat you bad; I was in a hurry, honey Oh baby, I won't do it again Oh baby, baby, I'm sorry She'll take you down to the river and throw you in, leave you when the sun goes down Tell you that you could've been a real fine fellow if your daddy would've had the time Leave you in the morning when the fog is forming on the Mississippi River bed Well, you soon discover when you tell her that you love her that the girl you used to love is dead She'll take you down to the river and do it all over again She'll take you down to the river and throw you in, leave you when the sun goes down Tell you that you could've been a real fine fellow if your daddy would've had the time Leave you in the morning when the fog is forming on the Mississippi River bed Well, you soon discover when you tell her that you love her that the girl you used to love is dead She'll take you down to the river and do it all over again
